BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Kristin Lehman was born in Toronto, Ontario, today in 1970. This birthday gal starred in the short-lived series "Drive" and recently made a guest appearance on "Human Target" and "The Killing." She's appeared on "Prison Break" and "Damages," and also starred on the series "Killer Instinct."

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make a breakthrough. A fresh discovery or insight can alter your outlook and empower you to make personal improvements. You are more popular than usual, but shouldn't give your heart away.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you are imbued with inspiration, do not forget to focus on facts. Get key questions answered before you pursue a new romance or accept a new guru. You can win approval for a pet project.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can be blind, even with open eyes. What you hear and see might prove to be no more than a fantasy. This is not a good time to sign a contract or agreement, as you have a tendency to miss the fine print.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone's got your back. You have more support than you think, especially when group dynamics are involved. There could be time to rekindle an old romance or light a fire under an existing one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Dazzle someone by being inspiring rather than demanding. Raise your self-image and enhance your self-esteem. This is a good time for in-person or online social networking; give and receive positive feedback.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ask someone for an opinion or option. Mingle with people from different walks of life and broaden your perspective. If you are searching for a unique, one-of-a-kind gift, you might find it today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A little encouragement is all that is needed. Your social maneuverings might put you next to someone who thinks you have star power. Unlock the door and invite others into share your private sanctum.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Relationships could be sidetracked by communication issues. Things might not go just as you planned. Wait out a brief period of time when unrealistic expectations on both sides create an impasse.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Squeeze out all the creative juices you can. A new interest or fascinating hobby might have you picking up the books to learn new skills.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ride your passions to the finish line. There may be loose ends to snip before the day is done, but you are the person with the skills to do it. When work is done, prepare to indulge in sensual pleasures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Kill two birds with one stone. Invite a new contact or romantic interest on a shopping expedition or errand so you have a chance to get to know that person better while productively sharing a necessary task.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take the gloves off. Be direct instead of tiptoeing around the issue or being uncommunicative. Any misunderstandings that occur now could be caused by pretending to be something you aren't.

IF MAY 3 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Ambition might be your middle name between now and the beginning of August. Your business sense will grow greatly if you learn your lessons well, but don't change jobs or push your luck for the next several months. If you are married or in a permanent relationship, don't be distracted by a passing fancy in August, but use your time wisely and rekindle harmony with a pleasant vacation or weekend getaway. In December and January, you could fall for someone who is not willing to commit, which is fine if you wish to remain single and play it footloose and fancy free. Your most important wishes can come true next spring, when you may be given an opportunity to reap the rich rewards you deserve.
